We have a faculty network committed to give support to academic exchanges and local experiences in Abya Yala to counter the erasure of Indigenous and Black knowledges in the academe.
We support the formation of Countercolonial Cuias (Gourd Bowls) and their Confluence in Abya Yala to reframe science and technology beyond western thinking.
We are structuring a library centered on the knowledges of Indigenous and Quilombola peoples curated by the communities to increase the representation of other knowledges in academia.
The Abya Yala Pluriversity (Pluriversidad•e Abya Yala) is a network of Indigenous universities and traditional universities in Abya Yala (the Americas) that aim to counterpoint epistemic erasures in academia by supporting the circulation of Indigenous people and knowledges in the affiliated institutions, as well as Black people and knowledges that honor the alliances between Indigenous and Black people against settler colonialism and the history of bodies and territories of resistance in villages (aldeias, aldeas), cumbes, palenques, quilombos, etc., and urban territories.
The Abya Yala Pluriversity is founded on the principle of a pluriversal world, where the respect and recognition of plural ways of knowing and being guide our activities.
For that, it is also based on the principles of interconnectedness and autonomy.
